Kink.com Takes Steps to Improve Sound Quality of Movies

The seemingly endless corridors and vast halls of the SF Armory may provide amazing backdrops and sets, but the marble, concrete and brick that make these spaces so beautiful has unfortunately wreaked havoc on the sound quality of Kink.com's movies. So Technical Production Manager Jeremy, along with members of the Art, Production and Facilities teams, set out to identify and solve these audio problems so that every scene shot at Kink.com can sound as good as it looks.

I have thoughts and ideas that present a new light to kink.com I want to share my ideas. You seem to be up late yourself!? What do you seek?

I've seen in some places where subtitles are provided. It wouldn't be difficult to have them in the MP4 files, and would certainly make shows like "The Training of O" much more enjoyable for hearing impaired viewers such as myself.

What happened to the female reporter/vo? Please bring her back!

05/02/2008 6:50 PM LinnyK says:

GREAT IDEA!!! Is it possible to implement Julian's suggestion of subtitles? I'm sure the hearing impaired wouldn't be the only members to benefit.

I am so amazed at your quality and your professionalism.. You are absolutely correct about the sound ...I have been a long time member on and off and keep coming back....The picture quality is beyond awesome with your high def Thanks again for all of your hard work and professionalism...As for the sounds especially in the interviews, I would suggest keeping the interview mikes up close on both interviewers. When close-up the sounds are very good... and when the longer shots .some of the sounds reverberate....Also when Claire Adams works with the models such as Devaun who is awesome ...when Devaun responds in the scene Claire's dialogue is pretty much drowned out...I at sometime and this may be asking too much but I would love to see closed captions on the interviews ...since I find them very interesting ...
Moving on to other things.. I know you are continually working to redesign your sets....One of the sets that I love is the dungeon set that you use for the many waterbondage shoots... I am not sure if in your future plans you will be using that same set or that you will be moving on from that...I love that set and think it one of the best on kink... I would love to see that reproduced into the armory and added...I love the posts the rings and the look.. I also love the fetish parts the latex and the leather and upon reading comments from other readers ...it really adds another dimension to the shoot....Maybe sometime in the future your will have a site featuring leather latex and I would love to see more steel and shackles and when incorporated into the dungeon set it is one of my favorite...When steel shackles and chains are used in a scene it sets the scene between dom and sub ..what I think is so erotic is collar wrists ankles and waist loosely linked and the sub has to serve the dom ..I love the latex maid scene but would have so much more for me if the maid had been loosely shackled wrists ankles and collar loosely connected. while performing her services…As to the fetish clothing I am not sure if you still have ascess to the stockroom but I would love to see more leather primarily on your doms…I love the dom training Princess donna has done with berlin and Anette Schwartz looks good as she is coming along… When I saw Claire Dames on your last wp shoot .I Immediately thought what great dom potential . Her 36dd in tight leather or latex domming.. I may be asking too much but I know you guys respond to your subscribers and that is what makes these the best sites in the all of the industry.. I am amazed at all of the most beautiful ladies and of course your men that you keep bringing to the sets again kudos to your staff ..Mark Davis the best and others each time are getting so much better
I will be a permanent member of your sites as everything I have seen has been incredibly improved and each week becomes even better.
I love behind kink as it keeps us so informed what is going on behind the scenes….
I know this is a long comment but I have been a member on and off for many years and this is the first time I have written and have only written comments on your scenes once …I am not sure if you read comments from shoots 3 or 4 months old so I never even though was tempted to do so , haven’t posted them..
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE GREAT WORK AND I WISH YOUR SITES THE GREATEST SUCCESS AND FROM NOT ON I WILL BE A PERMANENT AND THANKS FOR THE SPECIAL OFFER .YOU GIVE SO MUCH FOR SO LITTLE MEMBERSHIP FEES..
I KNOW THIS IS LONG BUT I AM A FIRST TIME WRITER
THANKS AGAIN
JOE

The sound has noticably improved.

Its been great watching all most of your videos, while I have been in the learning steps as a Switch Transexual that I am, I have enjoyed every second of your excelent work. It would be great as one person mentioned to get subtitles on the movies so it would be easier to understand for some people. I love the person who do the scrips for the acting crew, as much that I went from Puerto Rico to San Francisco on vacation and went to the outside of the studio at Mission St. but could not find the entrance!! so I took a picture from the outside and could not believe I was there. Keep up the good work and maybe one day I could make a visit again and do an audition, one never knows :) , in the meantime you have a transexual admiror of your web here!

That's great. Really. I'm impressed with your dedication. However, this will only improve certain aspects of you sound problems. To fix the other problems you are going to have to change the way you work. Using a microphone attached to a camera means that when you move the camera you move the microphone, thus changing the audio perspective and causing the audio level to suddenly and significantly change. I would suggest using area microphones and boom microphones instead of the microphones attached to the cameras. I'm assuming your cameras have stereo audio inputs in the back, you could very easily feed the audio through a small mixing board that you could place on the same table as your GIGANTIC lighting board. That would eliminate a lot of problems right there. Also, editing all of your videos in the same room using headphones has a friendly, band camp feel to it, but when you put on headphones you eliminate the audio perspective. You have enough space (and apparently enough money) that you could easily build a couple of editing suites. Compared to what you are already spending on hi def cameras, computers, routers, and insulating materials a couple of editing suites would be an absolute bargain. It doesn't matter how much money you spend on insulation if your directors continue to create sound problems with their production methods. You need to teach your directors to use audio compressors when they edit their videos. It's like color correction, only for sound. It will balance everything out and make it easier to listen to.

"How important is sound to most of what we do...?"

Hahahaha. My nomination for quote of the year. I don't know how you failed to find a place for it in the 10th Aniversary Spectacular. The thing I most admired about this quote was the seriousness on Lew's face as he said it. Like he was Moses decending the mountain with the 10 Commandments. And then shot down by everyone at the table, including Matt, which frankly surprised me.

Keep up the good work, Lew!

Then it must be my computer that isn't able to handle your videos. The picture is constantly stopping and jumping, and I only get brief comments on the sound. I can't make sense of any of that! Talk about depressing!!!

I want to know what's going on.
